Abstract

There are many practical applications based on the Least Square Error (LSE) or Total Least Square Error (TLSE) methods. Usually the standard least square error is used due to its simplicity, but it is not an optimal solution, as it does not optimize distance, but square of a distance. The TLSE method, respecting the orthogonality of a distance measurement, is computed in d-dimensional space, i.e. for points given in E2 a line p in E2, resp. for points given in E3 a plane in rho in E3, fitting the TLSE criteria are found. However, some tasks in physical sciences lead to a slightly different problem. In this paper, a new TSLE method is introduced for solving a problem when data are given in E3 and a line p in E3 is to be found fitting the TLSE criterion. The presented approach is applicable for a general -dimensional case, i.e. when points are given in E^d a line E^d is to be found. This formulation is different from the TLSE formulation.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
